There isn't much discussion of ruling class in America even in Boston, probably one of the most class-conscious cities in the country?

issues life looking people theme universal
Even if you wanted to be a hermit, people come out looking for you. I don't want to cloister myself away, but it is important for me to write about issues that have universal significance. One of them that have resonated with me all my life has been the theme of injustice.
